Micro-Currency: In French City Of Nantes, Soon You Can Pay In Nantos
NANTES – This city in western French is getting ready to launch its own local currency as a complement to the euro.

People taking initiative to create a parallel means of exchange without depending on the debt based abuse system is a very good news.

It will be interesting to see if this concept spreads to other French cities.
